Well done jdwex, I think you hit the nail on the head. I understand that aggrieved shareholders have considered applications to the Courts and complaints to Revenue and PSRA and ODCE but I believe that the media may the most effective route to a resolution.

I think it may be time for some further clarity ... The only OMC is the Owners' Management Company in which the Owner(s) of each unit whether apartment or stand alone property has one share. I don't understand how the Managing Agent could be confused with the OMC. The Management Agent is...

PEEMAC thanks for your comments. Yes, the "fabric of the buildings" is obviously limited to apartment type buildings and yes, maintaining the "fabric" of stand alone properties is obviously the repsonsibility of the individual Owners and yes, in those cases the OMC is responsible only for the...

There are none so blind ... I am Irish and I appreciate that the law is loosely interpreted by many. For example, the difference between single yellow line and double yellow lines on the road means you can't park there at all at all ! And though I neither drink nor smoke I too have spent a few...

Is this thread too specific, in so far as it refers to a development of holiday homes with one or more private residences and a pub ? Isn't the real underlying issue that so many OMC appear to be dysfunctional ? Perhaps PEE BEE should start a new posting on OMC problems in general ? One...

Ahhh, PEE BEE ... the famous "man on the Clapham omnibus". Good ol' Rumpole.

Hi Dermot, I assume from your post that you, like me, are familiar with dysfunctional OMC (quite a majority of the OMC with which I am familiar are in fact dysfunctional). As a result quite a considerable number of Shareholders are already trapped in terrible situations with OMC, and as you...

Let us all face facts and be realistic. Thousands of people already own apartments and hope to sell them at some stage. For those people, and for the thousands more that will, of economic necessity buy apartments in the future and / or live in apartments in the future the OMC must be fit for...

I have attended AGM where the Chairman of the meeting waved a bunch of A4 and stated that he held proxies for say 24 shareholders. He may well have been waving 12 proxies and 12 blank sheets of A4 because he refused to allow quite a number of Shareholders to examine the papers he had displayed...

Supposing that a coach full of people - let's call them "shareholders" - (in a hurry to go somewhere, a match or the Airport or the Train Station) shout at the coach Driver - let's call him the "Chairman" to drive through a red light at at junction and supposing that the coach Driver does so and...

Probably has alright but complaints about heating and hot water and the various controllers and valves are very common. Who knows, it may help someone else ?

WOW, that's almost incredible in this day and age. I respectfully suggest that you leave no stone unturned. I believe that "the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing" ? I applaud and admire you and your Partner for your efforts. I saw that someone...

If you must pay for or share the cost of public liability insurance on this road it suggests that the road is a private road (has not been taken in charge by the Local Authority). Is that the case ? Aside from the need for and the cost of public liability insurance, consider too who must pay...

If you have a copper cylinder and you have cold or luke warm water coming from water coming from the hot taps? Try the following (1) on one side of the cylinder there should be two copper pipes entering the side of the tank at approx 1/3 and 2/3 of the height of the tank. If so, one of those two...

Please don't confuse the OMC insuring the common areas of the development against "public liability risks" with the holiday rental business insuring bricks and mortar owned by private persons against the many and varied risks associated with valuable private properties. For example, if the...

Are there still 30 homes available for holiday rentals ? Do you now if there are long leases between the Owners of those homes and the Owners of the holiday rental company ? Who insures these holiday homes ? IF the Owners of the holiday rental company pay the insurance premiums do they have...

PEE BEE, the word "conflate" had me rushing to google and I found that it basically means smoke and mirrors. As my chosen pen name OMC FIX might suggest, I have some experience in the MUD(dy) field, however it was an Investor who, was advised to avail of various tax shelters by "Professionals"...

Many OMC are managed by volunteer Directors, many of those volunteers have no real knowledge or experience of being a Director. Many volunteers put their heart and mind into doing what is right for the greater good. Many more, in my personal experience, are on some kind of power trip, won't do...

Yes. Absolutely, what good is an anonymous complaint? I have also brought my complaint to the attention of two successive Ministers for Justice, Tanaiste and TDs. All have been very polite but have referred me back to the PSRA where I have written to the previous CEO and several Senior Staff...

I personally lodged a formal complaint to the Property Services Regulatory Authority about the unlicensed "Management Agent" more than 2 years ago and have regularly asked the PSRA for a status report. They say that I am not entitled to know what has become of my complaint.
